Abstract
In this paper, we provide a detailed and explicit procedure of obtaini ng some regions of attraction for the positive steady state (assumed t o exist) of a well known Lotka-Volterra type predator-prey system with a single discrete delay. Our procedure requires the delay length to b e small. A detailed example is presented. The method used here is to c onstruct a proper Liapunov functional in a restricted region.
